If you just ignore them, they'll get bored and go away. No.... it just meant you could be bullied with absolutely zero consequences for the bullies. The only reason I think this saying exists is so the school doesn't have to deal with it at all. If you tell the school, they do jacks*** anyway. I found once you whip a bully's ass, the bully no longer deals with you but then the school blames you. My school was awful with bullying, both how they dealt with it and how they taught it. Their philosophy was "we're a catholic school so nobody here is ever mean to anybody." |

My 8th grade science teacher told us that Seal was born in Africa and his facial scars were part of a tribe ritual. She also told us that the movie The Abyss won the Oscar for Best Picture. That was back in the mid 90's before you could check facts like that on the internet.

Similar to Christopher Columbus discovering America.. Captain James Cook discovering Australia.
False.. The Dutch and French had discovered Oz long before the British did. They just did not have a use for all that land, so they just left it.
Plus the Aborigines (native Australians) may have actually also settled in Australia about a thousand years ago.

How bad my eyes would be if I kept playing my gameboy/NES so much.
School was full of them, perhaps most notable was the global warming propaganda. By about now the ice caps were supposed to be gone, temperatures should be at least 5 degrees higher on average and the sea should have risen to flood most of the coastal areas around the world.
Towards the end I actually asked my Geography teacher why we had to treat this stuff as fact when it was just a theory based on computer models and it instantly became clear she didn't believe a word of what she'd been teaching.

My teacher told me she wasn't horny, but I knew even then that was a lie.

They just did not have a use for all that land, so they just left it. Plus the Aborigines (native Australians) may have actually also settled in Australia about a thousand years ago. Another one: John Cabot discovering Canada (something I 'learned' in Grade 8 Social Studies). Um, no he didn't. For one thing the Natives were here long before any of them, and if you just mean Europeans discovering America then the Viking settled along the Canadian coastline first. Even ignoring that and JUST focusing on the Age of Exploration, Columbus 'found' America first. My history classes always tried to overstate Canadas importance but John Cabot traveling further north than Columbus does not mean he "discovered" anything. Speaking of inaccurate history, all through school up until Grade 12 I was taught that World war I was started because the Archduke of Austria-Hungry was assassinated and everything was just blown out of proportion...which is only slightly true. Before that point all the European countries were pissed and wanted to go to war with each other, it was inevitable and the assassination was just the straw that broke the camels back. The European tensions were never mentioned in any of my classes. Thankfully the Canadian history course I took in Uni corrected these mistakes. |

Something I didn't hear from my parents, but I heard from my cousin that she learned from her parents/my aunt & uncle. During the whole Pee-Wee Herman porn theatre scandal, my aunt and uncle told my cousin that the reason why Pee-Wee's Playhouse was no longer on TV was because Pee-Wee Herman was arrested for mooning people in a movie theatre. What I love about this lie is it does retain some of the elements from the actual incident. The location is still a movie theatre, but since we were little kids at the time, we just thought it was a cineplex that shows Hollywood movies since when you're that young what other kind of movie theatres exist? Also I liked how they just made the crime a much more benign version of indecent exposure. So basically in the abstract it's still basically the same story: "Pee-Wee Herman exposed himself in a movie theatre". Except one version is a whole lot more cleaned up to explain to an 8 year old circa 1991 then the actual story. By the way, my cousin believed the explanation her parents gave up until 2 or 3 years ago when I had to correct her when talking about popular culture from our childhood.

Algebra is incredibly useful for software programmers. Unfortunately, IT jobs like those are insecure now that companies would rather pay Indian programmers to do work from abroad than hire domestic programmers.

While I am not sure this is in the spirit of the thread, but in the third grade, my geography teacher was trying to find Jamaica on the map and was looking for it around the Red Sea near Ethiopia. After about 5 minutes of her fumbling around, I walk up to the map and point to proper location in the Caribbean.

The only reason I think this saying exists is so the school doesn't have to deal with it at all. If you tell the school, they do jacks*** anyway. I found once you whip a bully's ass, the bully no longer deals with you but then the school blames you. My school was awful with bullying, both how they dealt with it and how they taught it. Their philosophy was "we're a catholic school so nobody here is ever mean to anybody." I went to a Catholic school too, and one time a kid killed himself and the teachers weren't even allowed to acknowledge it had happened. you could tell it pissed them off but the Principal got an order from the school board saying they couldn't talk about it because he was going to hell and they didn't want to tlk about his "sin". normally when a student dies they'd make special exceptions so friends could go to his funeral but for this kid it was verboten. another kid had died of cancer that year and his friends wrote their names on his locker which was given to his family in memoriam. for this kid, though, they just washed off all the signatures and told the students they weren't allowed to talk about him (not that that stopped anyone). |

When I was 3rd grade I had a teacher tell us that Martin Luther King Jr was shot while he was grocery shopping. What the hell, I was told the same thing. |

I had a teacher that told us that if the NDP got into power (The leftist party here in Canada) it would mandate who people were friends with.
Her son was running for MP with the Liberal party, I'm sure that had nothing to do with her statement.
